This discussion addresses how to calculate Capital Gains Tax for the financial year 21-22 when selling a property. It clarifies that land purchased in 2013 is a long-term asset, making any gain or loss on its sale a Long-Term Capital Gain/Loss. However, the cost of improvements made within the last two years will be treated as a Short-Term Capital Gain.
